Village Books & Music

The new Village Books & Music store by Friends of the Library of Hawai‘i opened to the public on Saturday, February 27, 2021. Thousands of books, CDs, DVDs, vinyl records, games, works of art, and much more are available for sale!

The store is conveniently located at the former Pier 1 Imports space at 1142 Auahi Street, Honolulu. Ample parking is available in the adjacent structure.  

Generously sponsored by Ward Village and Hawai‘i State Federal Credit Union, the store has been EXTENDED through October 17, 2021, in itʻs current location.

Then, beginning in late October, the store will re-open in the Ward Centre Mall at 1200 Ala Moana Blvd. – 430Ft across the street – giving book and music lovers until June 2022 to browse our collections. Inventory will be restocked daily and rotated periodically. Please check back often for new items.

Visit

No reservation is necessary. Because weekends are busier, you may make a reservation on the weekend. If you know what time you want to come, make a weekend reservation using the form below. Due to pandemic restrictions, capacity at the store will be limited to 75.

If you just want to stop by when you have time, you can do that too! We have not been reaching capacity on weekdays so no reservation is needed and there should be no line.

Members receive a 10% discount off of their purchase on Sundays in May 2021. Proof of membership is required. We will have our list of members at the store. Members may present their membership card with I.D., or just an I.D. to be referenced to our list. If you sign-up that day, please show the confirmation email.
